The profound changes that we are experiencing at the political, environmental, economic, social, and cultural levels of our “postmodern” society pose immense challenges to education. In order to empower students to analyze, reflect, and take action for a sustainable world, the learning and educational process must be experienced in the context of citizenship; that is, it must be designed, planned, and implemented having global sustainability as a framework, thus developing societal awareness, values, and principles.

Este livro reúne reflexões em torno de pressupostos teóricos e de proposições práticas emanadas daquilo que se constituiu como a Terapia Ocupacional Social no Brasil. São trazidos ensaios que transitam por distintas percepções teóricas e formulações práticas, evidenciando a pluralidade temática e epistemológica que atualmente caracteriza os estudos nesse campo. Também, são apresentados temas contemporâneos que têm interpelado a terapia ocupacional social, ganhando a cena para discutir relevância social, conhecimento acadêmico e atuação terapêutico-ocupacional, como as juventudes, em geral pobre, negra e periférica, o trabalho territorial, a escola pública, o ato infracional, as drogas, a circulação e a mobilidade urbana, os gêneros e as sexualidades dissidentes, as redes sociais e as (in)visibilidades.
